Locking The Ap320; Surface Mount - Aerohive Networks AP121 Hardware Reference Manual

Locking the AP320

To lock the AP320 to the mounting plate, use the security screw, which is included in the mounting kit. You
also need a Torx tri-wing torsion insert bit for size #1 tri-wing security screws and a screw driver that will
accept the bit. The correct bits are available from Aerohive in sets of three (AH-ACC-SEC-BIT-3PK).
1. Insert the security screw through the hole in the AP320 and begin to thread it into the hole in the
mounting plate (see

2. Use a screw driver with the insert bit to tighten the screw, securing the device to the mounting plate.

Surface Mount

You can use the mounting plate to attach the AP320 to any surface that supports its weight, and to which
you can screw or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the surface. Then, through the large opening in the
lower part of the plate, make a hole in the wall so that you can pass the cables through to the AP.
Finally, attach the device to the plate, and connect the cables, as shown in
Figure 6 Mounting the AP320 on a wall
(Side view)
Note: There are a variety of holes through which you can screw or nail the plate in place.
Choose the two or three that best suit the object to which you are attaching it.
